This recipe is taken from a Betty Crocker cookbook. These cookies are my absolute favorite Christmas cookie ever! My family and I make them pretty much every year. We also make them other times of the year, but in different shapes. ;)
The recipe doesn’t usually make that many cookies, so we usually double (or triple) it.

Also these cookies are really good with a cream cheese frosting, and sprinkles. Lots of sprinkles!!!
